Given numbers are 5538,3242

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 5538,3242 is 8977098.

Find LCM of 5538,3242 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2769 x 1621 = 8977098

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 5538,3242 is 8977098.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

5538 x 3242 = 17954196

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

5538 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, 71, 78, 142, 213, 426, 923, 1846, 2769, 5538

3242 : 1, 2, 1621, 3242

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 5538,3242, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

5538:2x 3x 13x 71

3242:2x 1621

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

= 1

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 17954196/(2x1)

LCM = 17954196/2

LCM = 8977098

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 5538,3242 is 8977098.
